Background to the Project ...
Cheshire Dance and Walk The Plank are gearing up for a phenomenal performance project in 2012 (inspired by London 2012), choreography by Jacqueline McCormick, Cheshire Dance, Vicki Amedume and Ruth Spencer, Independent Dance Artists.
All performances will be site-based at 3 iconic locations in Chester, Cheshire East and Warrington and will involve a range of specialist collaborators in dance, aerial work, music, light, costume, fire and pyrotechnics. The Chester event for example will form the culmination of the Olympic Torch evening celebration event, so we're talking about events of some scale. We will be working on unique pieces for each site with professional dancers, a range of specialist collaborators as well as a very diverse range of community groups drawn from across the sub-region. There will be a few hundred performers or more in each piece.
There’s likely to be thousands, tens of thousands watching or taking part in other ways. With all the performers and large creative team, we will no doubt be exploding the potential of outdoor sites as media for making art. We will celebrate ‘The Moment When…..’, inspired by the very moment an athlete commits to becoming an Olympian.
